Are FitBits the Next Step Toward Dystopia?

I first read (and re-read multiple times) This Perfect Day by Ira Levin in the mid 1970s.

A few weeks ago, while listening to my co-workers go on and on about their Fit Bits, something pinged in my brain. I came home and dug out my battered paperback copy of the book. Read the opening scene. And was chilled.

“Losing is the same as winning.”
“What’s important is having fun and getting exercise, right?”
“But you can’t take off your bracelet.”

Something in my brain exploded.

The deeper into the story I read, the more the book felt like prophesy instead of fiction.

Every moment of our lives planned for us, with one free hour a day.
Children not expected to use their imaginations and entertain themselves, but having too many activities and being bored when they’re not scheduled for something.
Being medicated into happiness
Wearing a bracelet to ID ourselves and so Uni-Comp can track the wearer’s movements 24/7

Are Fit-Bits a step in that direction?
